This Standard provides an acid base accounting method to calculate the net acid-producing potential of acid sulfate soil materials by individually assessing the acid producing capacity due to oxidation of inorganic sulfides, the existing acidity and the effective acid consuming capacity.
NOTE: If the acid-producing capacity due to inorganic sulfide oxidation exceeds the effective acid consuming capacity then the soil material is termed an acid sulfate soil requiring careful management to avoid adverse environmental effects due to acidification.
The term einformativef has been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which it applies. An einformativef appendix is only for information and guidance.
